Christmas music:
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
We wish you a merry Christmas
O Christmas Tree
Deck the halls
The twelve days of Christmas
Love came down at Christmas
Good Christian friends, rejoice
While shepherds watched their flocks
When Christmas morn is dawning
Hark! the herald angels sing
The first Noel
Go, tell it on the mountain
Infant hold, infant lowly
In the bleak midwinter
Oh come, all ye faithful
Silent night
Once, in Royal David's city
The holly and the ivy
Good King Wenceslas
Away in a manger
Oh, little town of Bethlehem
What child is this? (Greensleeves)
Oh, holy night
When a child is born
Frosty the snowman
Santa Claus is coming to town
Mary's boy child
Jingle Bells
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
The little drummer boy
Winter wonderland
Walking in the air
We three kings of orient are
It came upon a midnight clear
Coventry Carol
O come, all ye faithful
Joy to the world
O come, O come Emmanuel
Still, still, still
Angels we have heard on high
Lo, how a rose e'er blooming
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
I'll be home for Christmas
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus
Silver Bells
The Christmas Song
Christmas comes anew
We celebrate the birth
Why so excited, my neighbor?
Come away, shepherds
Let it go (Frozen)
Do you want to build a snowman? (Frozen)
Baby, it's cold outside
All I want for Christmas is you
Fairytale of New York
Jingle bell rock
Mistletoe and wine
A winter's tale

Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I'll try my best to be flexible regarding a change in timings. This will obviously depend on whether I have other commitments on that date. Just let me know with as much advance warning as possible and I'll see what I can do.
How much time do you need to set up?
Usually I allow for at least 45 minutes to set up. This will include unloading the car of equipment, setting up, tuning the harp and getting changed into an appropriate outfit. If I'm able to arrive earlier then I'll settle down for a short while with a vital cuppa before plucking those resounding strings!
Is the transport of your harp included in your quote?
Yes, my quote will include travel expenses.
Do you need any equipment provided to play outdoors?
Although my harp is played acoustically, it's often necessary to use an amplifier when performing outside. Without solid walls and with having ambient background sound, the sound of the harp can become lost. I'd also ask that clients provide a garden parasol/gazebo for overhead protection (in the summer) and clean, flat flooring for the harp to sit on.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
My set lists are derived from years of experience of performing for events and from clients requesting favourite pieces of music. The list is ever evolving and isn't updated however clients are more than welcome to choose from the existing list or to make suggestions. If I don't already perform a piece of music, I'm happy to look into it.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
As long as the booking isn't last minute, I can advise as to whether your chosen pieces of music are appropriate for the harp and if so, I can then obtain a copy of the sheet music (if not already in my repertoire) and can learn it. Please note that I usually perform a mixed bag of music and can only perform a limited number of special requests.
